Crockett Cougar Chatter
November 2018
CRAWFORD CORNER
Greetings to the community of Crockett!
Cougar Pride is rich in history and Crockett has many reasons to be proud. Recently, Crockett celebrated its 50th Anniversary at our Homecoming Game, followed by an Open House where we invited our alumni to walk our halls again. It was a true pleasure to see so many former and current staff, students and parents cheering on our Cougars, Texanns and Band Members marching and dancing on the field, and our football team getting a big win. Check out some pictures from both of these events and a quick video from Austin ISD. Cheers to 50 more successful years and for continuing to remain always victorious!
Mark your calendars!

The Crockett Theater Varsity Ensemble attended the UIL Student Superconference at UT Austin on Saturday, October 27. Students had the opportunity to participate in theater-based workshops covering topics from special effects makeup to college auditions to Shakespeare. Sophomore, Jericho Modjeski said, "I got to learn how to make a new style of lighting plot". Junior, Angel Gentry served as a demonstration volunteer and had her fave covered in SFX make-up by artist, James Glavan. Senior, Noah Messer had his Shakespearean audition monologue coached by UT professor Lucien Douglas. The Crockett students experienced new ideas to bring back to the program, both in the acting realm and in the technical realm.
